In other states, it seems like it was intended as a safety net so that no veterans of the Revolution would die in poverty. <br /><br />In the former, you just needed to prove that you had served. In the latter, you needed to prove service and also demonstrate need. <br /><br />Some states were pretty lax, others were quite tight fisted.

One wonders why the essay begins with a hitchhike ride on the Lt A Rowan story to digress into a diatribe over employee behavior. Hubbard, with no military background is hardly a qualified evaluator and merely anoints the tale with Heroic qualities for merely getting a job done. Lt Rowan did have the experience with intelligence gathering, West Point training and language skills - but these are not mentioned in the essay. So, the contrast between Lt Rowan and "generic employees" is stretched. Workers, in spite of the equal pay policies of Roycroft, are maligned in a diatribe hardly based on workplace experience. These degrading characterizations fail to describe the experience of this writer with work at Walmart where obedience is prized over initiative and management abuse frequently cited by workers and filings in Legal complaints. Roycroft Press does not survive, and Hubbard son seems not to have the Lt Rowan anointment to save the Company or the workers' jobs. Thus, the Essay serves a private urge of Hubbard, yet is ignored by readers and corporate influencers to some end. But that end and why has this fabrication survived so long? Americans need to look inward and see its biases and foolishness.<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Cast-Deathless-Bronze-Spanish-American-American/dp/1943665435Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300682946349532269.post-2462112890422642512022-08-15T06:16:14.664-04:002022-08-15T06:16:14.664-04:00My father, Julius Kovesi, was a philosopher at the...My father, Julius Kovesi, was a philosopher at the University of Western Australia, and loved this fallacy too.
